The rationale of the logo: The two hands clasped in a firm handshake represent Hospice and the patient. It represents a commitment encapsulated in the organisation’s motto – “Caring Together”. The green background depicts a wholesome environment of care, love and respect. It also ‘praises’ the professionals, volunteers and sponsors who serve freely. The orange and maroon hues within the heart speak of service beyond ethnic boundaries and the appreciation of patients and their families.

The white outline (in reverse) highlights foundation, expertise and compassion which are the traditions of Hospice as a valuable service-provider.

Note:ROS has approved our new logo and amendments made at the 6th BGM.
